There's one for gaming community, where we discuss what we're playing every week. I think it's great for people to share their thoughts about the games they're playing, and also for others to check whether some games suit their taste.

Should we have similar thread for TV shows / movies / animes? I definitely wanna know if a show suits my taste or whether it's worth it to sink time into it.

PS: I tried to post about this multiple times, but ended up not posting it.

One of my favorite subs was S01E01 which is a community voted weekly watch and discuss! I think something like that could be beneficial here, especially since that sub was basically only the owner and occasionally myself participating.

I'm in favor.

It might not get as much traction as the gaming one, but there are a lot of times when I want to just talk about watching something in general without having to create a thread for it specifically (so I end up never discussing it).

I think it'd be nice.

Gives room for general discussion without being the only person to create a post about a show/movie, seeing it get about 5 upvotes at most and maybe having one or two comments in reply.

Also, people get nervous about making posts and tend to be more comfortable commenting. It's like that even on the other site. Less pressure, maybe. But it makes the general "What are you watching/reading/playing?" threads more active because more people feel comfortable contributing like that.

personally i think it's just down to what the community wants and whether this would be active if it was done--the gaming thread is pretty heavily used, but i'm unsure about whether an entertainment thread would be.

I'd love that.

Sounds like a fun idea. It'd be a nice way to see what others are watching and if it sounds good. Maybe find some old hidden gems.

Like I've said on the post, I definitely want to see something similar to it, but it depends on whether the community would end up using it actively.

If the mod / admin feels there's enough people in favor of it, maybe we could have a trial thread / post for a week or two?
